Larry, the Happy Lappy Finds a New Home

So those of you who know of my old huge 17″ HP laptop, I have some news.  My sister-in-law graduated highschool this past year, and she’s going to college (I know, so exciting!), so my wife and I have gifted her with the wonderful HP happy that has served me so well.  This laptop is well travelled, well used, and well loved.  I’m sure it will serve her well.

Not only does she get this laptop, but I gave it to her pre-loaded with Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron, and she’s loving it.  She has never used GNU/Linux or any Free Software in the past, and I was delighted to see how fast she picked it up.

My in-laws are now considering a switch to Ubuntu GNU/Linux as a result.  This is all very exciting.  Anyway, I’m not dead yet, just super busy.  Don’t forget to check out my photo gallery at http://www.manchicken.com/gallery, and if you’re of the Vegan persuasion and you live near central Illinois, check out http://vegan.manchicken.com for some upcoming news on possible activities in this area.

Later.
